lyrics

Why can't I be here
Without seeing myself
In someone else

It always happens when
I've been running
And yet I run to them
Just the same

The monuments stand in open air
To commend dead god-fearing men
The honesty of the open air
Is enough to bring down the best

Aren't we all so used to it
And we can't get enough
Of a world getting ill
And the stillness has filled
This wilting sentiment

To fall apart at the seams
To be adorned in the streets

When home is a thing of the past
Seek out the long road
Passing on
Handing over
Talking up the long ago

When we were
We were hopeful
You said
You would carry me

Bring down the best
Only to be up against
These buried men
And the faces
Of all their dead fathers
